Kyle first fell for Mike two years ago as a gosling,
after she was abandoned by her mother.

“One of my friends
noticed her drowning in the water, like almost desperate, alone,” Mike
said. “At any minute she would have been run over by a boat.”

So Mike took her in, and he took her everywhere.

“I just figured I would keep it alive long enough to
be an adult and to fend for itself,” he said. And then the goose would go
on her way.

But that’s not how it worked out.

“I’ve tried to get rid of her, you know. I’ve driven her miles away and then left her in the middle of nowhere
and when I come back she’s already home before me, so there’s not a lot we can do” Mike said.

It is apparent that the goose has left an imprint on him.

Even when we went to a coffee shop in town, Kyle was right
on his heels. And Mike says she would
have stuck even closer if I was a woman.

“When girls come
around and she senses they’re a threat, she lets them know,” he said. “She’s smart enough to know actually who
the threats are and who they aren’t.”

And if truth be told, at this point, Mike is equally smitten. Today their little cat and mouse game is just
that -- a game, a chance for Kyle to get some exercise, and for Mike to
enjoy an incredibly close encounter with an incredibly trusting friend.

Kyle really is beak-over-tail-feathers for this guy. But
she’s not taking any chances, either.

See, unlike humans who believe if you love someone you
should let them go to see if they come back, Kyle seems to believe if you love someone, why chance them
getting away when you can fly faster.
